"The Real Inspector Hound" with an all male cast is HALARIOUS!
Alan Accbourn's (sp??) "Garden" and "House" are so funny too. |
||||
| Salome |
yuck! "Hound' WITH AN ALL MALE CAST..no! JUST NO! |
||||
| London_Mungojerrie |
lol My school did it  It was SO funny. lol
|
||||
| Salome |
but for the wrong reason. you director didnt understand teh show if he cast males in the female roles. | ||||
| London_Mungojerrie |
hmm...I thought it worked really well. The snogging was so so so funny. Do you mean the disguise aspect of the play? |

The Odd Couple, male version
One of the very tightest, best written stage comedies ever. |

I'm about to go see I Hate Hamlet at my school in just a little bit, it might be my new favorite!  Except that the cast is kind of so-so...I mean, there are six characters and the guy who plays the lead wants to quit so we'll see!

Our Town
Arsenic & Old Lace Taming of the Shrew The Skin of Our Teeth... tons more. |
||||
| The Drama Queen |
I think its lesser known but one of our local theatres did "Lie, Cheat, and Genuflect" and remember it being very funny. | ||||
| LesWickedPhantom |
Rumors... I haven't seen it, but I read it when it was rumored that my school would be doing it... it had me laughing at loud.
Blithe Spirit... school did it in my freshman year (I was on Tech). I love it, even though no one else in the cast/crew did. |
||||
| Annie |
LOADS, but of just the more recent ones:
Doubt 'night, mother A Day in the Death of Joe Egg The Rimers of Eldritch Jitters (yay! I was in it last month. Spectacularly fun) Born Yesterday ...etc....etc....etc I'm a junkie.

I haven't seen many, but of the ones I've seen, it has to be the one my school's doing now. All My Sons. It's so good. | ||||
| phantomphan85 |
Blithe Spirit, I had the best time EVER doing that play! | ||||

'The Glass Menagerie' and 'Cyrano de Bergerac' are tied as my all time favorites. I also like 'Romeo and Juliet', but mainly for the humor. 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' is good too. I haven't read any other Shakespeare plays but I'm sure I'd like all of them.
Right now my school is doing 'You Can't Take it With You' and it's hilarious. I auditioned for Penny because I think she's the funniest. |

The Crucible
The Importance of Being Earnest The Tale of the Allergist's Wife |
||||
| dramaqueen220222 |
Anything written by Tennesee Williams. I love the movies they made of his plays, too, they're always so well-done.
I also like Variations of the Death of Trotsky, A Doll's House, The Laramie Project, Doubt, and The Three Sisters. |
||||
| Ulla Dance Again! |
One of my all time favorites is Glengarry Glenross by David Mamet. | ||||
| LesWickedPhantom |
ahh, I can't believe I forgot that one... I just read it with my English class good stuff.. and The Crucible is actually my all-time favorite. I'm dying to do it. |

I LOVE "You Can't Take it With You"! It's brilliant. The 3rd years in my program (Professional Theatre Cegep) put it on last year when I was in first year. It was so fantastic. I hope you have fun doing it! Here are some pics from their production. I was on the set crew. http://dc37.dawsoncollege.qc.ca/theatre/2005-2006/performances/You_Can%27t_Take_It_With_You/You_Cant_Photos.htm Annie

I'm reading by the skin of our teeth right now! I'm really enjoying it! |
||||
| Salome |
I think only Streecar has been made into a strong film. the rest of Willaims plays were less thaan good on the big screen. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was terrible..the censors madet hem cut so much,plus Williams didnt write the screenplay! Liz Taylor's Maggie was totally wrong. they actaully did a made for cable version in the 1980s thats wonderful. It uses Willams 1974 rewrite, and has a perfect cast led by Jessica Lange.Tommy Lee Jones and Rip Torn. |

Death of A Salesman
The Importance of Being Earnest The Ladykillers Romeo and Juliet - gotta have a bit of Shakey right? |
||||
| LesWickedPhantom |
the photos are awesome. Looks like it was a great production. Personally, I strongly dislike "You Can't Take It With You"... my school's doing it right now... high school, mind you... and its torturous. I'm sure when its done right, it can be hysterically brilliant, but we aren't so... its not. I'm playing Olga... |
||||
| Robinflamingo |
I thought The Rose Tattoo was awesome in film. |
||||
| dramaqueen220222 |
Yeah, and I liked Suddenly Last Summer as well. | ||||
| Etoile |
Awesome pics! It looks like it was a great show. I'm not sure how good ours will be since I haven't seen one rehersal...but I'm on the set crew as well and the set does look pretty sweet. For high school at least. |
||||
| Salome |
I give you Rose Tattoo...but Suddenly Last Summer? except for Kate Hepburn it was miscast. |
